How can one filter out the "." and ".." entries from the output of the ftp_nlist function in PHP?

To filter out the "." and ".." entries from the output of the ftp_nlist function in PHP, you can use the array_filter function to remove these entries from the array returned by ftp_nlist. You can create a custom callback function to check for these entries and return false to filter them out. 

// Connect to FTP server
$conn = ftp_connect('ftp.example.com');
ftp_login($conn, 'username', 'password');

// Get list of files/directories
$files = ftp_nlist($conn, '.');

// Filter out "." and ".." entries
$filteredFiles = array_filter($files, function($file) {
    return $file != '.' && $file != '..';
});

// Print the filtered list
print_r($filteredFiles);

// Close FTP connection
ftp_close($conn);
